Demographic dividend: Demographic dividend refers to the economic growth potential that can result from shifts in a population's age structure, particularly when the working-age population (typically ages 15-64) is larger than the non-working-age share of the population. This situation can lead to increased productivity and economic output if coupled with appropriate investments in education, health, and job creation, particularly highlighted in the context of rapid growth in East Asia.
East Asian Miracle: The East Asian Miracle refers to the rapid economic growth experienced by several East Asian economies, particularly South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, during the latter half of the 20th century. This phenomenon is characterized by impressive industrialization, significant poverty reduction, and rising living standards, providing valuable lessons about economic development strategies and the role of governance in achieving growth.

It emphasizes the importance of balancing economic growth, social equity, and environmental health, creating a holistic approach to development that avoids depleting resources and harming ecosystems. This concept is crucial in addressing historical trends and current challenges faced in global development, particularly as nations strive for growth while managing environmental impacts. Additionally, lessons from rapid growth in certain regions highlight how sustainability can be integrated into economic strategies to foster long-term resilience.
Export Processing Zones: Export Processing Zones (EPZs) are designated areas within a country that provide special incentives for businesses to encourage the export of goods. These zones typically offer tax breaks, regulatory exemptions, and reduced operational costs to attract foreign investment and boost economic growth through manufacturing and assembly activities. EPZs played a crucial role in the rapid economic development observed in several East Asian countries by facilitating the integration of these nations into the global economy.

This approach encourages countries to integrate into the global market by focusing on sectors where they can gain a competitive advantage, often leading to rapid economic growth and industrial development. It has been particularly significant in transforming the economies of certain East Asian nations during their periods of rapid growth.
Foreign direct investment (FDI): Foreign direct investment (FDI) refers to the investment made by a company or individual in one country in business interests in another country, typically by establishing business operations or acquiring assets.

Global economic downturns: Global economic downturns refer to periods of significant decline in economic activity across the world, often marked by reduced trade, increased unemployment, and declining consumer confidence. These downturns can disrupt growth trajectories and lead to social and political instability, impacting countries differently based on their economic structures and vulnerabilities.
